Okay....
This is officially my first blog post ever. Since I probably wouldn't even know what "blogging" is if it weren't for Case Cun-el, I think it is only appropriate that I dedicate this "post" to her (as you can see I am not yet comfortable with the blog lingo, hence the frequent "quotation marks").
Well, "blogging" is far from the only thing that Cayce has taught/given me in the past 2.5 years, and just think...I might have missed it all, if it had not been for that fateful Kerryman/Hang Up night. So here's the abbrievated list of things I may not have learned had Cayce and I not both ended up at Roosevelt. Though I'm pretty sure our paths would have crossed at some other place and time anyway....
1. It's completely fine to fly to Italy for the weekend...
2. North, South, East, and West (she was instrumental in helping me learn my cardinal directions)
3. It's not a very good idea to attend an "all you can drink" event that starts at 6pm -- you'll be home and in bed by 8.
4. NEVER steal cans of Red Bull from behind the bar -- the bartender will yell at you and your friend will never drink them anyway.
5. If you put some concealer on your lips before applying your lipstick, it stays on longer (I don't wear lipstick, but if I ever do, I'll remember this!)
6. The Rock 'N Roll McDonalds is THE place for making all important life decisions.
7. In Texas, brides get all dressed up, as if it were their actual wedding day, and get pictures taken a few weeks prior to actually tying the knot. Additionally, there is something called a "house party," which I'm not sure exactly what they do, but I want one!
8. School is important but you also need to have fun -- you can't let it eat up your social life!
9. I will survive comps, dissertation, and applying for internship -- Cayce is my inspiration and helps keep my anxiety at a minimum.
10. It is possible to maintain friendships despite distance and all other challenges. I admire Cayce's ability to keep in touch with and support all of the MANY friends she has around the country! (she's totally pop)
Though there are many more things I could add, I'll stop with this. The gist of it is that the thought of Cayce living somewhere else next year kind of makes me barf (good thing for #10). But this lady is going places...and she's destined to teach others like she has taught me.
Ah, my first "post" is complete! Did I do it right?

I'll have to ask Cayce...
